Comments on: Sanford Rolls Out $5.8 Billion Budget http://www.fitsnews.com/2009/01/09/sanford-rolls-out-58-billion-budget/ Politics, Sports and Pop Culture Tue, 14 Feb 2012 22:27:59 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.2.1 By: Fashizzle http://www.fitsnews.com/2009/01/09/sanford-rolls-out-58-billion-budget/#comment-45273 Fashizzle Sun, 11 Jan 2009 14:40:33 +0000 http://www.fitsnews.com/?p=11716#comment-45273 We traded liberty for promises of government security and even now some refuse to see it was a fraud. Government cannot create happiness. It cannot create wealth. All government can do is take from one and give to another while stealing a portion for itself. Thus, a $5.8 billion budget proposal -- the 4th highest in state history -- and people scream as though starvation abounds and bodies lie in the streets. Damn it, people -- where is your dignity? We are hogs at the trough gorging on every last scrap to the moment of slaughter. Rise up and demand your freedom.

Optional services, meaning those not mandated by the feds) have been cut. BUT, reimbursements to healthcare providers have risen sharply in the past few years so that docs and others would not leave the system. These payments were protected during the recent budget cuts so that access to neccessary (not optional) care would not be cut off. Medicaid is a cadillac insurance plan that provides more benefits then your private coverage. Now, if you want to see all the optional coverage fully restored right now then tell us what tax or taxes you want to see increased to pay for it. Liz: you are clueless about healthcare and medicaid.

The governor does not seem to understand that we live in a poor state, in part thanks to the plantation aristocracy who still run this state. Sanford can blame the Good Ol' Boys all he wants, but this plantation boy is knee-deep in the mess. He needs to travel around and see the "real" state. I suspect my perception would be skewed if I lived in a mansion in Columbia and traveled 26 to Sullivan's Island to my house. He should come from behind the gates and visit people living in the former mill and tobacco towns in this state. Talk to people who are currently living on unemployment, those who have to work full time to pay for books and tuition at one of the two year campuses he proposes to close, the teachers who he bashes at every turn, and the so-called fat-cat bureaucrats.

First of all, there is NO healthcare for the people of SC. Get sick and see. Get cancer and need Hospice- sorry Medicaid cut that part out. Doctors, well many of them are leaving the system and becoming private pay. Sorry, that doesn't wash Governor. Law Enforcement? Is it just me or can anyone else get any law enforcement officier to do anything at all? Best I have had is CLOSED investigations without answers. And my problem again for the record, is that I have TWO paying accounts at the SSA, one I get, one I don't. The second account is tied into a subsidized Medicare Part D account. *The people of the state of South Carolina are paying through the nost for FAKE FRAUDULENT SSA AND SSI ACCOUNTS> The only part of the secret is YOU did not know! One of my accounts has been paying since 1987, even though I surrendered it in 1990. That's the one continuing to pay into a black hole and tied up with a Medicare subsidy. Then finally I, the real me, got some help too. Let me also mention that I have evidence of two other paying accounts that were supposedly terminated as well. So it's really NOT just me. And court awards- never expect them to be accepted as evidence in courts of law... McMaster and Sanford and Graham now allow Administrative Decisions or court awards to be ignored. ****seeks to “protect core government functions such as education, law enforcement, and healthcare.” BULL I can personally blow this budget out of the proverbial water .

In this morning's Rock Hill Herald, Mic Mulvaney,a "true" conservative calls it like it is. Regarding the gov's proposed cuts on the state's university system, he says in Saturdays Rock Hill Herald: "I think it's a symbolic move on the governor's part," Mulvaney said. Truth is spoken -- Symbolism is the mode of operation for this administration. Let’s watch the “true” conservatives (aka Tea Drinkers) support the gov’s proposals.
